Pop Sci on SED

Canon/Toshiba SED Technology a flat panel with a tube at every pixel

The old cathode-ray tube is still the gold standard when it comes to exhibiting rich color, smooth motion and deep blacks with superb detail. So Canon and Toshiba used the same technology to create a better flat panel. Called SED (surface-conduction electron-emitter display), it uses 6,220,800 electron emitters “one for each color per pixel” that cause red, blue or green phosphors to glow. Read more

Toshiba-Canon SEDs: 2006?

Toshiba Canon SED
(Surface-conduction Electron-emitter Display)

SED TV - New Flatscreen Technology?

Plasma and LCD HDTVs may soon be sharing shelf space at your local electronics store with a new flat panel technology called SED TV. Developed jointly by Canon and Toshiba; SED stands for Surface-conduction Electron-emitter Display.

Canon started development on this imaging technique back in the mid 1980s and joined up with Toshiba for the project in 1999. Both formed a dedicated company for the technology called SED Inc. in 2004. Neither of these companies is a notable player in the flat screen arena, but they are looking to make a big splash with SED TV. Read more

SED Theater

Experience the superb image quality of SED at the SED theater. The 36-inch screens on displays demonstrate how SED — the Surface-conduction Electron-emitter Display — combines sleek, flat panel lines with the superior performance of a CRT. Like a CRT, the SED shoots electrons at a phosphor-coated screen to emit light. Read more
